MEDIA INTERNSHIPS OFFERING A RANGE OF FOCUSES

Developing Radio Partners  is focused on spreading important information primarily through the medium of radio in Africa. This involves training local journalists, assisting with broadcasts, and encouraging accessibility to radios in rural communities. DRP works with local broadcasters to spread information about the environment, agriculture, health, and governance. This easy spreading of information gives the power of knowledge to everyday people, and changes their lives for the better.

While every community needs reliant information about day to day life, DRP also tailors its support to the specific needs of the station. These approaches could include: outreach with community partners, surveying technical capacities of stations, creating Program Toolkits to support targeted programming, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation. These engagements encourage stronger, more participatory communities.

Started in 2004 by one of the founders of National Public Radio in the United States, Developing Radio Partners is a well-established organization that is eager for new interns!

Why Intern with Developing Radio Partners

Find out from our previous interns how internships with Developing Radio Partners can jumpstart your professional career and expand your soft skills.

Besides the experience it has added to my resume, this internship gave me a lot of insight into what I want to do in the future. I learned about how a nonprofit operates, which was very illuminating. The experience was very enjoyable and I got to do a variety of work. My tasks included running the social media accounts, Google Ads campaign, data entry and analysis, designing graphics, and creating a Wikipedia page. Probably the biggest project I was able to work on is their national television campaign in Malawi, which used graphics I created as part of the programs.... See More

Content Writing & Communications Internship, Remote

I’ve always seen myself in a job with people of different cultures. It is actually a dream of mine to work in English and talk to people from different parts of the world. The nonprofit I joined had an international team, plus my internship project involving creating connections in Latin America. Communication between different cultures is a topic I have read about before and it’s useful for what I plan to do in the future. In the internship, I really applied my intercultural communications skills and learned from the experience.

Roots has been very easy to communicate with from the start and was a massive help in finding my internship. The short-term experience with my internship organization was also amazing! The managers are all very approachable and offered tons of support and suggestions to help improve my work. I'm most proud of conducting a Social Return on Investment report for the organization and the research I did on funding opportunities; I will definitely miss my time with the organization!
